Hello Stranger pairs Ian or Justine, the original hosts of Globe Trekker, with someone they’ve never met for a conversation. Our producer, Kris, plays matchmaker, then steps back. Ian or Justine knows nothing about their guest beforehand. No briefing. No bio. What will they talk about? It’s the kind of spontaneous conversation you might strike up with the stranger next to you on a bus, a plane, in a pub, on a train.
